Chapter 1375: All kinds of doubts
"How can this be used against cavalry?" asked a city defense officer, puzzled.
The commander-in-chief of the city defense did not answer directly, but ordered the ten shield armor soldiers to rush over with a spear each. All the city defense officers were dumbfounded, not knowing what the unfathomable commander-in-chief in front of them wanted to do.
In a matter of moments, the shield armor arrived. Shield armor is also the most commonly used type of unit in attack and defense. Normally, shield armorers hold a thick shield in one hand and a spear in the other. However, the ten shield armor soldiers who rushed in made people feel awkward no matter how they looked at it.
"With two spears in one hand, how can you attack?" was the doubt in the hearts of almost everyone.
Soon, however, the commander-in-chief of the city defense gave an even stranger order. Seeing the ten shield armor soldiers tie the two spears together crookedly, everyone present was even more "unclear".
Next, the commander-in-chief of the city defense asked the shield soldiers to stand in a row, and put the shield in his hand on the ground to block in front of him (the shield of the shield soldier is very special, not only thick but also wide, standing the shield upright on the ground, as long as the shield soldier half crouches down, then the whole body can be completely hidden behind it), and then through the shield to extend the spears connected together......
The city defense officers seemed to understand something, but they were still full of doubts, so some people couldn't help but ask: "My lord, the two spears are not tied strongly, I am afraid that as long as they are swung by the cavalry spears, the two will be separated......"
"Stupid!" scolded another higher-ranking city defense officer, "Commander-in-chief, this is just a demonstration, you know?
"Not bad!" exclaimed the commander-in-chief of the city defense, "Do you look at the spears of those foot soldiers under the city as long as our two spears are connected together?"
"Could it be that just by increasing the length of the weapon, you can use infantry against cavalry?" asked a city defense officer, puzzled.
"Please note that the spear of the human spear is twice the length of our cavalry weapon, so before our cavalry can attack someone, it has already been countered by the spear of the human ......"
"It's still not right!" questioned a city defense officer, "these spears may not be able to break through the defenses of the heavy cavalry, and one or two foot soldiers alone will not be able to resist the powerful impact of the heavy cavalry! Once they are close to the heavy cavalry, no matter how many foot soldiers they are, they can only be reduced to lambs to the slaughter." ”
"Wrong!" said the commander-in-chief of the city defense, "haven't you noticed that these spears are not the same as ordinary spears?"
When all the city guards heard this, they all looked under the city wall, and although they were far away, there were still many fighters with advanced cultivation and strong eyesight who saw the difference of the spear.
"My lord, it's really true!" exclaimed a city defense officer, "but I don't know what role this spear can play in battle?"
"It's simple," replied the commander-in-chief, "and when the spear is stretched forward at an angle, the end of the bend can be firmly nailed to the ground." Yes, the impact of the heavy cavalry is very strong, but it must not be stronger than the resistance of the earth, right? What's more, even with the light cavalry together, the number of cavalry in the city of Tara does not exceed 20,000. And the opponent's foot soldiers have more than 100,000 at least, so a heavy armored cavalry has to charge with more than five spears. Do you think they can break through their defenses?"
"Even if they can't break through, then these foot soldiers may not be able to do anything with our heavy cavalry. A city defense officer replied disapprovingly.
"Hmph, once the spear is reached, the speed advantage of the cavalry will be immediately lost. In this way, the heavy cavalry can only become a target for the mages and magic archers who hide behind the foot soldiers! Do you think that the armor of the heavy cavalry can withstand the 'indiscriminate bombardment' of magic and magic arrows?"
Hearing this, the city defense officer, who had just suggested using cavalry to ram the opponent's infantry phalanx, couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. Fortunately, the commander-in-chief of the city defense at that time did not adopt his proposal, otherwise, once he rushed out of the city, he might have been completely annihilated.
"It should be wise that the 10,000 heavily armored cavalry who had just left the city to pursue did not attack these infantry?" asked a city defense officer tentatively.
"No!" the commander-in-chief of the city defense vetoed, "Actually, people have long expected that our heavy cavalry will not do anything to their foot soldiers. Of course, if you really do it, you will definitely die faster!"
"Die faster?" asked a city defense officer, puzzled.
"Not bad!" affirmed the commander-in-chief of the city defense, "for there must be another trap waiting for the heavy cavalry." I only hope that Cisco Ret can only think about surrendering and co-opting like he did with the Kingdom of Sosto, and will not kill them. ”
"I'm afraid not necessarily!" said a city defense officer, "After all, the heavy cavalry is pursued with the masters of the Church of Light. I don't believe it, even if there is a trap, then so many people will really be 'wiped out'?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" agreed one of the city guards, "if anyone does escape, should we open the gates and let them in?"
"If someone really escapes back," the commander-in-chief of the city defense stressed with a cold face, "it must be because someone deliberately released the water." Therefore we must not open the gates. Because, if people take the opportunity to cover up, then nine times out of ten, our city gates will be breached. ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" immediately a city defense officer responded, "We must put the overall situation first, and we must not take this risk!"
"What's more......" the commander-in-chief of the city defense added, "If my expectations are correct, then this operation of Cisco Reite, I'm afraid, is mainly aimed at the masters of the Church of Light!"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but exclaim.
Looking at the shocked, confused, and expectant expressions of the city defense officials, the city defense commander took the initiative to explain without waiting for anyone to ask: "Do you think back to the scene when Cisco Reite led the magicians to take the initiative to deter, do you think there is anything abnormal?"
"Anomalous?" said the city defense officer, somewhat unconvinced, "I don't think so." That Scohot behaved very well, resisting all our magic archers with the strength of one person, and under the high-level wind magic of the Church of Light, he rescued all the magicians, and it was really similar to the rumors, it was so powerful!"
"You've said it, it looks like Cicoheat is almost so powerful, so why did he run away?" the city defense commander questioned, "Moreover, Sicoheat has never launched even a trace of attack magic from beginning to end, don't you think that as the leader of the magicians on the besieging side, this is a bit abnormal? What's more, under the mere high-level wind magic, none of the hundreds of magicians brought by Sikoheat can resist it, and all of them are swept up by the tornado and fly up involuntarily, is it possible?"
